FROM THE DIRECTOR I would like to welcome several new members to KAG’s Board of Trustees. Elected at this year’s AGM are Terryl Atkins, Trudi Backman, Al Gozda, David Harder and Linda Thomas. Our full Annual Report is available on KAG’s website. Kamloops Art Gallery is one of 2,500 museums across the country employing over 24,000 Canadians. We are part of a rich collective of institutions that help to preserve our national memory, shape identity, promote tolerance and create understanding. Our work helps to build social engagement and civic pride. Museums are part of an important arts and cultural mosaic that represent the souls of vibrant communities; they are important economic generators, attracting business and enhancing and promoting social stability. Museums bring Canadians together, they tell our story and safeguard the traditions of creativity that have preceded us and stimulate new generations to create their own legacies. In short, museums matter!

I want to thank all our members, donors, sponsors and volunteers for their ongoing support of Kamloops Art Gallery, especially through these difficult economic times. KAG has been a part of this city’s cultural appeal for three decades, has a strong foundation and great community support. We are confident about our future and excited about the exhibitions that we have planned. Remember “Free admission every Thursday sponsored by BCLC”.   Jann LM Bailey Executive Director
